    [Highly rated reviewer]

    I know this is just a silly Zombie movie but its awful, even for those of us who like zombie films.

    I mean, I'll admit I was hammered when i tried to watch this movie, and I was also playing on Football manager in the dark in the corner of the room, but still, the film was not very good.

    The zombies don't act like normal movie zombies and there are no good jump moments. Well at least I don't remember any, but I was off my face on a bottle of brandy at the time and smoking my way through a packet of fags. You know the stuff I mean, the bits where the girl falls and strains her ankle while the zombie gains on her, or the man gets his coat hooked on a door handle.

    Anyway, nothing like that happens, and then the crew and survivors somehow get some hand guns and start shooting the zombies in the head. All are excellant shots and despite shootnig a gun in an air conpressed room like a plane in flight being a really dumb thing to do, it all works out ok.

    There's some convict who redeems himself by helping to land the plane, and some other stuff happens. I think some scientist dusk or chemical caused the zombie breakout.

    Anyway, I watched it and it was not good, then I went to bed cursing the waste of an evening and my pathetic life. Thanks a bunch stupid zombie plane zombie, and I felt ill the next day, which I bet was your fault.

    I think it has been proved all Zombie movies should be set in shopping malls or populated areas. I hope this film has not ruined the chance ot getting my own project greenlit thought, working title 'Zombies on a Train' Its going to be great, zombies on a double decker train on a winter night through the countryside. Lindsey Lohan is attached to star - depending on whether she clean up she is the heroine or the zombie queen. Make sure you check that out.

  • Perfect for BadMovie night

    Rated - 5.0 stars

    Don't be fooled by the star rating I have given this movie. Its not only bad, its very very bad. So bad in fact that its fantastic! If, like me, you have regular bad movie nights then this would be a great addition to the zombie instalment. Plot holes everywhere and more bad continuity than you can shake a stick at, its very very funny.

    After watching this you should go rent Jack Frost 2: Revenge of the Mutant Killer Snowman. Just beware of the Banana Milkshake...

    Starts very slow, and has the image of a badly-made 70's cheese-horror flick - but once this movie gets going its alright.

    I stress 'ALRIGHT'

    That's all it will ever be.

    Imagine the scene.

    2 men sit around a table in a darkened room, a third man stands in the corner. His back to the room. all three look tired and dishevelled. Crumpled up bits of paper and empty coffee cups are strewn across the tables surface. A clock in the corner clicks to 2.33am. One of the men at the table who had previously had his head in his hand, palms rubbing against bleary eyes, raises his head and speaks.

    'We have been here for hours…anyone any ideas?”

    The second man at the table adjusts himself in his seat.

    “I still think the on a plane thing is the way to go. Its worked for snakes. Lets strike while the iron's hot. Think about it - 'Tigers on a plane'. Its bound to sell.”

    “Tigers!? Come on. How could you possibly think tigers on a plane would work? No no no its too close to the original we need something different.”

    “Wolves?”

    “No.”

    “Ninjas?”

    “No”

    “….pirates? they always do well..”

    “NO!”

    The third man who has been standing in the corner turns to face the other 2. his eyes dart between them. He has their undivided attention as he speaks one single word

    “Zombies”

    “Zombies?”

    “Yes Zombies, think 'Night of the Living Dea….wait! That's it! Flight of the Living Dead”

    All three men look off at some imaginary screen, their fevered imaginations already envisioning the words on the big screen

    “Flight of the Living Dead: Outbreak on a Plane.'

    Well that's how i saw the formulation of this movie, unfortunately I think more effort went into my introduction of this review than the actual movie script. That's not to say its a bad movie, just nothing noteworthy. Its a fairly generic romp that ticks off most of the stereotypes of a zombie flick. Cop in the wrong place at the wrong time? Check. Plucky air stewardess? Check. Token black guy? Check. Horney teens? Double check. Retiring pilot who goes into his plans for retirement? Check. There's even a mysterious canister that leaks dry ice. The first half of the movie is a pretty mundane attempt at building tension that goes into no attempt at building any sympathy for the characters. The second half is where the fun begins. Zombies that are reminiscent of the 28 Days Later variety run amock. Passengers scream. Passengers die. Low budget special effects and funky contact lenses.

    All in all its not an unpleasant waste of over an hour as long as you're not expecting much, and to be honest anyone who is really needs to read the title of the movie again. You will even spot some familiar faces in the no-star cast. One to rent or borrow from some one daft enough to buy it (like me).

  • Homage to 80s Zombie Flicks

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By Fettz (20 reviews) from Cramlington , 29 Mar 2011
    If you're contemplating this then you must be a fan of zombies films of 70s/80s. This comes across as a homage to them. It has a rather weak storyline and the acting isn't very good to say the least but then it's a B movie. It's got terrible one liners, plenty of gore and comedy deaths. The name itself means that you won't be expecting the best film that was ever made but if you like 70s/80s comedy horrors then you'll be happy with it, very comical in places and well it's zombies on a plane, it's quite explanatory.
